I will remain a shareholder of the company and will therefore follow with keen interest the development of the business.

After nearly one year as the CEO of the Metalor group I am continually impressed with the international reach and diversity of the business. The company has experienced leadership and with the most recent organizational structure in place I am confident we can meet the growth expectations of our business planning. Our customer base is strong and we are encouraged by the improvements in the 1st quarter results. I look forward to continuing to work with Scott who has a great experience in the Precious Metals world.
